First used for John Rowntree`s café in Scarborough in 1896/7, the Abingwood chair was a blend of a perceived `Old English` style and Arts and Crafts revivalism.

Lot 517
AN OAK THEBES STOOL with a dished seat carved in low relief with stars and zodiac symbols, on three shaped legs, 10" wide. The Thebes stool was a popular model with artistic designers and retailers at the turn of the century. Based on an Egyptian original in the British Museum many slight variations on this theme were produced. Possibly the largest retailer of such stools was Liberty and Co of London who included them in the `Artistic Furniture` section of their Christmas catalogues between c1905 and 1912. Although conforming to the usual form this example has a most unusual seat with carved animals and stars. See Illustration
Lot 528

Combining the cantilever design of the previous decade with moulded plywood technology this chair, and the other similar designs from the early 1930`s by Aalto are amongst the designers most celebrated work. The flexible properties of moulded plywood with its necessary strength allowed Aalto a freedom that had never previously been available to furniture designers. See Illustration

LE CORBUSIER, CHARLOTTE PERRIAND and PIERRE JEANNERET: A `SIEGE A DOSSIER BASCULANT` ARMCHAIR with pony skin covered back and seat, on a chrome frame with leather arms. First designed in 1928 this chair is clearly based on an earlier English campaign chair that appealed to Modernist designers due to the clear rationality of its design. The design has been adapted to use modern materials. This example probably by Cassina. This chair is No.23 in `100 Masterpieces from the Vitra Design Museum Collection` 1996. See Illustration
Lot 531

Kaare Klint worked first as a painter, then as an architect and furniture designer as well as being a Professor of Architecture from 1944. Klint designed this variation on the campaign chair in 1933. The chair adheres closely to the original, as he felt it necessary to make only a few subtle changes to the original design. See Illustration
Lot 532
CHARLES AND RAY EAMES: A DCM PLYWOOD GROUP CHAIR with black stained back and seat on a chrome frame, with Vitra labels to the base. The DCM or Dining Chair Metal was first shown at the Museum of Modern Art in 1946. Like the cantilever chair, this design attempts to make the seat and back float in the air, supported by the least structure possible. The beauty of this design lies in the subtle curvature of the back and seat, and the angle of the back to the seat. See Illustration
Lot 534
BORGE MOGENSEN: A Shell chair in Teak finished plywood and beech, probably manufactured by Erhard Rasmussen. Mogensen`s work is typified by strong and simple lines with the intention that the furniture be suitable for industrial production. This chair, first designed in 1949 shows Mogensen`s close association with Kaare Klint, his mentor and tutor for a number of years. The chair also shows a link with furniture history in that it is a development of a Windsor chair with the back and legs being tenoned into a solid seat, as well as echoing stylish 18th century chairs with vase shaped back splats. See Illustration
Lot 535
HANS WEGNER: A WISHBONE CHAIR MODEL CH24 with shaped back rest above a woven seat on turned legs and stretchers. First designed in 1950 for Carl Hansen and Son, this successful interpretation of a bentwood chair shows Danish Modernist designers interest in sourcing influences from around the globe, this chair showing a clear debt to Chinese furniture. Wegner showed this influence most clearly in his `Chinese Chair`. See Scandinavian Domestic Design, edited by Erik Zahle, p116. See Illustration on page 122
Lot 537
AARNE JACOBSEN: AN "ANT" or No. 3100 CHAIR, with moulded plywood back and seat on three chrome legs. First designed in 1952 for Fritz Hansen, the `Ant` chair is one of the most successful examples of the rationalisation of furniture design by Danish designers in the post-war years. Being manufactured from a small number of parts it could be made cheaply and as it is both sturdy and light it is one of the most versatile chairs of the period. This chair is No.47 in `100 Masterpieces from the Vitra Design Museum Collection` 1996. See Illustration
Lot 539
FINN JUHL: A DINING CHAIR, probably model number NV53, with an upholstered back and seat on turned and stained legs. Finn Juhl was a Danish architect who was appointed head of the school of House furnishing at the Fredriksberg Academy between 1945-55. Juhl designed many ranges of furniture for a number of makers during this period and his designs always show a clear division between the chair frame and the upholstered parts. See Illustration
Lot 540
POUL KJAERHOLM: A LOW CHAIR MODEL PK22, with leather upholstered back and seat on chrome legs. First designed in 1957 this design by the leading Danish designer Poul Kjaerholm shows his exacting standards in demanding the highest quality materials and standards of manufacture.

Lot 543
PHILIPPE STARCK: A LOUIS 20 CHAIR, with moulded mauve plastic back, seat and front legs and chrome rear legs, with stamp marks to the base. Vitra. First designed in 1991 this chair is typical of Starck`s interest in combining contrasting materials in a piece of furniture.

This chair is No.18 in `100 Masterpieces from the Vitra Design Museum Collection` 1996. See Illustration
Lot 600
GEORGE JACK: A MORRIS & CO SAVILLE ARMCHAIR, the shaped back and seat upholstered in original Morris & Co fabric, with scrolling outswept arms and shaped legs. The Saville chair, which was almost certainly designed by George Jack, is an example of the firms later production where Mahogany predominates and a late Victorian sophistication replaces the earlier medieval revival pieces. Jack was assistant to Philip Webb, the firms chief furniture designer, and took over from him on his retirement in 1890. This is a rare example of this fine chair in that it appears to retain its original Morris and Co upholstery. See Illustration £500-800
